Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)

Endsight is the world’s premier advisory firm to help a country qualify for and implement large MCC grant programs. We know the program in detail and have already achieved big successes. If a country is serious, we know exactly the pathway to get them to the MCC program that will transform its economic performance.

Endsight's Proprietary Country Performance Index

Every African country wants to be the next Singapore or Dubai. It’s not magic, money follows performance. If African countries want to attract more international business and investment, they need to be more, um, attractive. Our CPI methodology uses 36 international indicators to assess and increase a country’s attractiveness to foreign businesses and investors. (learn more about our CPI model).

AGRIBUSINESS

Endsight Consulting provides public and private clients in the agribusiness sector with project development, market entry strategy, and management consulting services. After developing analytical solutions, we leverage our extensive network of government officials and business leaders across the continent to help open doors that make implementation successful. Our multi-lingual team is experienced across functions and industries within the agribusiness sector. We are currently working with clients on grain trade and fertilizer reform in West Africa.

BUSINESS IN AFRICA

Endsight Consulting is the “go-to” firm for businesses seeking to do business in African markets. Not only do we know where to go (and not to go), we know the terrain of government contracting when you get there. Perhaps most important, we work with you to develop the sources of financing for major projects.

PROPOSAL MANAGEMENT

Endsight Consulting has developed winning bid proposals for dozens of US government (DoD, State, USAID, MCC) and international contracts. We help our clients develop innovative solutions and effectively communicate them in winning proposals. We have expert capture managers, proposal managers, technical writers, graphic artists, and color team reviewers to ensure your proposal makes the competition irrelevant.

GOVERNMENT ADVISORY

Endsight advises African presidencies on economic development and trade promotion.

AGRIBUSINESS

We work with countries to manage and/or strengthen food value chains and increase market access.

BUSINESS IN AFRICA

Endsight understands being sensitive to the local “culture” is a critical factor for ‘success’.

PROPOSAL MANAGEMENT

Our team will shape and mold your proposal from start to delivery with the utmost dedication.

Winning Proposals

Winning a contract requires a killer proposal, and a killer proposal doesn’t write itself. When you need to win, start early and call Endsight. We’ll nail your bid.

Project Development

Everyone has a project in Africa, only to vaporize when it comes to closing time. Stop chasing ghosts. Endsight vets projects with the hard questions, sources the financing, navigates the ministries, and closes the deals.

OUR PROJECTS

Our clients win. We help presidencies accelerate their country’s development to be recognized as the top reformer in the world and win a half-billion-dollar grant for infrastructure. Our commercial clients win big contracts, such as a major water treatment plant. We arrange international financing, including from export credit agencies.

When Cote d’Ivoire emerged from conflict in 2012, the country and economy was in shambles. Becoming a preferred destination for investment was hard to imagine – but the new President had a vision and Endsight provided a roadmap. An MCC Compact was the charge. When we started, the country passed just 5 of the 20 MCC indicators. Now its passes 14 indiators, received a $525 million MCC grant, and was named by the Mo Ibrahim Index as the fastest reformer in the world. Now the Presidency has tasked Endsight to help Cote d’Ivoire to pass all 20 MCC indicators (which has never been done) and to create a similar methodology to attract private business and investment.

Yaoundé Cameroon had a failing clean water supply. It needed a game-changer. Our US engineering client has a solution and General Electric had the technology. Endsight initiated the development of a $60 million water treatment plant and arranged the financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Game changed.
